Roleplayer Guild - Forum Roleplaying Games

First you pick a name and a class. There's your basic character, you're ready to play! Just post your name and class in this thread and I'll send you a character sheet. Once you get some experience points you can buy new skills to make yourself even more effective as a survivor. You'll also find various weapons and items throughout the world...as far as weapons don't be afraid to improvise either. Any questions?

Sure...pocket knife is fine. Just add it to your character sheet if you copied it down for your own reference.

Here's an example post just so you know how a table top RPG works on a forum:
Player- Nathan walked into the gritty,run down factory slowly. His steps echoed loudly and his heart beat out of control. He moves to the back of the main floor and opens one of the doors that lead into the back offices.

GM- As he enters the room a crazed man leaps out and grabs him, shaking him violently and screaming "Dear God!...One of them is in here with me. Help me please!". Something grabs him from behind and yanks him backwards into the dark. Nathan hears muffled screams and the sounds of tearing flesh.

Player- Nathan turns on his flash light, trying to see what's happening.
(You can't decide the outcomes of uncertain events. In other words if you try to open a door you know is unlocked then its going to open and you'll probably go through it. You can't however shoot at an enemy and know it's going to hit, the GM decides. If you attack someone then you can usually have one small action or movement after the attack then your post ends.If its dark and you turn on your light you don't know what you'll see, its totally up to your GM)

GM- Nathan sees a man that appears to have been skinned tearing into the other crazed man from earlier.

Player- Nathan draws his Colt .45 revolver and takes aim for the zombie before him.

GM- The bullet misses its target and shatters the dry wall behind the zombie's head. The creature takes no notice of him and continues eating the now dead man in his arms.



...well there you go. Any questions?

New players fill it out!

So it's basically a forum version of D&D. I've always wanted to play a game like this.
Plus, I love the idea of a zombie outbreak. Thanks to you, and your beautiful mind

btw, you forgot equipment in the character sheet.

Name: Jake Ryans
Class: Worker
Physical Appearance and Clothes:(without pericings)






Accessories:

Equipment:

Personality and History: Quiet, keeps to himself, left handed when writing, but right handed on everything else. Keeps his wallet and wallet chain on left side, along with his watch on his left wrist. Always knew that something like this would happen. Used to work at a bookstore with his freind Sara.She had a huge crush on him, but Jake never had the chance to relize it before the outbreak. They were able to share one kiss beforeSara was dragged away. Jake tried to catch her, but she was already dead before he could even reach out. (If I can choose the location)He now keeps himself barricaded up in the old bookshop "Books to the Sky" with a skylight in the upper room in case they ever broke through.
It seems it would be very soon.

If you could do some advertising that would be fantastic. I only need three more people to start up a game...maybe four or five if that many come. If you know anyone please tell them about this game.
